This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
To describe the characteristics and completeness of notifications of gestational and congenital syphilis across the state of Bahia, Brazil, in the period 2007-2017.Methods:
This ecological study with data obtained from Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan). Incidence rates at the macro-regional and state levels and percentage of completeness were calculated.Results:
15.050 cases of gestacional syphilis and 7.812 of congenital syphilis were identified. The incidence rate varied from 1.3 to 15.1 cases in pregnant women/1,000 live births and from 0.5 to 6.7 cases in infants under one year/1,000 live births. The completeness of variable clinical classification of gestacional syphilis varied from 58.2% to 67.2% in the studied periods.Conclusion:
The study showed an increase in the incidence rates, failure to fill out notifications and the need to the implementation of a routine information quality assessment.RESUMO
Objetivo:
Descrever a completude e as características das notificações de sífilis gestacional e congênita no estado da Bahia, Brasil, no período 2007-2017.Métodos:
Estudo ecológico, com dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan). Foram calculadas as taxas de incidência para a Bahia e suas macrorregiões de saúde, e o percentual da completude dos dados.Resultados:
Foram identificados 15.050 casos de sífilis gestacional e 7.812 de sífilis congênita, no período analisado. A taxa de incidência variou de 1,3 para 15,1 casos em gestantes/1 mil nascidos vivos, e de 0,5 para 6,7 casos em menores de um ano/1 mil nascidos vivos. A completude da 'classificação clínica' dos casos de sífilis gestacional apresentou preenchimento variável, entre 58,2 e 67,2%, entre 2007 e 2017.Conclusão:
Evidenciou-se aumento nas taxas de incidência, falha no preenchimento das notificações e necessidade de implementação de uma rotina de avaliação da qualidade das informações
